Privacy Extensions is dangerous: http://blog.bimajority.org/2014/09/05/the-network-nightmare-...

I haven't read the long article but it ends with:

> UPDATE (2014-09-06): As […] was the first to point out, RFC 7217 addresses all of my issues with “privacy” addresses. Let implementation come soon!

So, not backing your message.

This seems like the case of a very specific problem for a large network. I don't believe that in a typical home or small office setting this would have a bad effect.
